In order to reduce the reactivity of magnesium alloy cast by the technology of investment casting with the material of the mould and the ambient atmosphere, solid inhibitors were applied in the form of a mixture of KBF4 and H3BO3 after the stage of mould baking and before the mould’s being filled with the liquid alloy. For the purpose of examining the effect of the inhibitors on the surface quality of the obtained casts, profilometric tests were performed and the basic parameters describing the surface roughness, Ra, Rz and Rm, were determined.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Effect of Inhibitor Coating of a Ceramic Mould on the Surface Quality of an AM60 Alloy Cast with Cr and V}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/88685/PDF/11_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/afe-2015-0059}, keywords={Innovative materials and technologies, Surface roughness, Magnesium alloys, Solid inhibitors, Investment casting}, }
